Notes:

I found this recipe on a news page and saved it. Thank goodness I did as I could not find it later on the internet. So this is why I try to print out so many recipes.
This soup will help keep your immune system strong and prevent colds.
It has a lot of garlic and you can adjust according to your liking.
Also instead of kale you can use cabbage.
I have also used lentils in place of quinoa, but the time must be adjusted as it takes longer to cook lentils.
If you don't have chicken, no worries as it's good without it and the quinoa has a lot of protein.
Blessings everyone and hope you stay well.
Thanks to the person the recipe was adapted from.
